Ender 3 - Direct Drive Adapter

thingiverse

This is a direct driver filament adapter that I created for my Ender 3. I reused pretty much all my stock parts, except I needed to replace 2 of the stepper mount screws with M3-20 to account for the new mount depth. Everything fits really nice, and I'm even able to continue using ReplayMD's [filament knob v2](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2776404) and the [Petsfang Bullseye Duct](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759439). Although I did need to trim the cable guide from the Petsfang fan base. Notes: * The 2 red components in the pictures are the ones required to convert your stock Ender 3 to direct drive. * This has been tested by [rbalandis](https://www.thingiverse.com/make:609713) and works fully with the [Mico Swiss](https://store.micro-swiss.com/collections/cr-10-ender-2-3-tronxy-cr-10-pro) hotend **Updates:** *2019.02.15* - I added a cable chain end by request. This terminates johnniewhiskey's [Ender 3 Cable Chain](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060) directly to the z axis assembly so both ends of the chain are perfectly aligned and alleviate the unnecessary tension on the chain. *2019.02.03* - I added a cable support that attaches to the old stepper mount. I primarily designed this to keep the cable out of the way for video recording from behind, but it also cleans up the cable as well.
